It's day…two or three of my rapid updates! Here's the ending chapter! Special Thanks to Jennon Donnon and True Serac for their constant reviewing and even helping me behind the scenes! This final chapter is dedicated to the both of you! I know it's really short, but this is the wrap-er-up-and-get-it-done-with chapter!
Disclaimer: It's be funny if on the last chapter I suddenly become the new owner of Negima! of course it's not funny because it didn't happen. Laugh anyway.

Screwed Up
The red robed soldiers pushed forward, fireballs raining from the heavens, causin' hell on earth. The black robed soldiers were routed, until the only one left standing was the General, the oldest cult leader, the one rumored to be able to summon demons to fight for him. The cult General laughed, it was both eerie and horrible.
"Fools! You have sealed your own fate! We are your saviors yet you turn on us! I will kill all of you in one blow!" His robes began to blow back and the wind felt as though it was coming straight up, his hood concealed his eyes but a manic smile was on his lips. "DIE!" A magic circle appeared on the ground below him, it glowed with a powerful light, signifying the doom of every living being in a ten mile radius.
Suddenly a loud snap was heard, like the sound from breaking firewood, and the General fell down. Behind him Con… the black clothed mage wearing a bandana held a broken baseball bat in his hand. He tossed it to the side and looked at the gaping faces of his comrades. He shrugged, "It worked didn't it?"
Asakura and Negi sprinted toward the two bodies near the middle of the battlefield, Asakura was the first to get there, tears in her eyes. She turned him over, sobbing, His eyes were glazed over, his breathing...gone... his lifeblood was stopped, signifying the last beat of his heart was done with long ago..."W-why…" out of frustration she grabbed his pen and pulled it out of his chest. Negi gasped
Masayoshi's body jerked forward, "OW!" The color rushed into his eyes, now wide with pain and surprise.
Negi stood his eyes red from tears, now wide with disbelief. Masayoshi rubbed the hole in his shirt, under the bloody shirt, his skin was smooth and healed. Negi shook his head and kneeled by Masayoshi, "H-how did you-?"
Masayoshi laughed a little, "Here's a lesson for ya Negi boya, don't forcefully stick magic emitting objects into a person's body, it's very uncomfortable and it doesn't do too much for killing them." His eyes saddened as he looked at the late Marie, he shook his head. He put a hand over her open eyes and closed them.
Asakura quickly grabbed Masayoshi's arm, "The red guys are coming back here! Hurry we have to go!"
Masayoshi nudged her off, "Relax, I got it covered. I just have to bring her back to life."
Negi was still in shock from Masayoshi's incredibly fast recovery, but now he was simply dumbfounded, "Masayoshi… magic can't bring people back to life… I would know…"
Masayoshi shh'd him; he took the quill out of his pen and drew a magic circle around her body, "Spiritus ab intra verba emergo, resurrectum…" The girl's body moved a bit and she made a whining sound. Masayoshi quickly grabbed his book and grabbed Negi and Asakura he tore a page out of his book wrote a spell on it, and threw it up in the air in one fluid movement. The paper exploded in a burst of light and the three disappeared with it.
The Intermagi surrounded Marie, "Treasure Hunter Marie and Hell's Fi… damn he got away again! Ah forget it, just capture the chick, I'm going home!"
Connor… I mean the…forget it… Connor stifled a laugh, "Good work kid… I have a feeling that we'll meet again… next time don't expect me to help you out though."
Masayoshi and Negi sat in the kitchen, after some heavy duty explanations to the girls that played a part in the battle, everyone but the two boys went to sleep. Negi tapped the counter, "So… how did you bring Marie back to life? I thought it was impossible to do that…"
Masayoshi chuckled, "It is to everyone but me… the reason they call me Hell's Fire is because of my knack of casting unnatural magic, it's this book really… Marie's parents created this book years ago, but it somehow backfired and blew everything up in a fiery explosion. I was part of a group sent to the past to kill certain mages that will negatively affect the world's outcome, I was six at the time, designed to be a killing machine. Anyway I was somehow captured and became to learn that peace helps us blah blah blah… well I received the book from my old master… Marie came after me… yeah you get the picture…"
Negi shook his head, it made him even more confused, "I don't get it…"
"The author said that sometimes less knowledge makes you a kinder and friendlier person, I don't want to turn you into a jerk Negi."
"W-what author?"
"Oh, the one who wrote this story."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing, it's just this story I'm reading." he held up a book titled Random and set it down on the sling where his other book was kept.
"Oh…"
"Anyway…" Masayoshi stood up, "I now must finish the task given to me a long time ago…" He pulled out his pen and pointed it at Negi.
Negi's knuckles turned white when he clenched them on top of the counter, "M-Masayoshi?"
"Negi… promise not to screw up the future?" He cocked his head to the side and smiled as he said this.
"Of course!"
"Ok then" Masayoshi sat back down and drank some juice from a shot cup. They just sat there, enjoying the peace until Masayoshi spoke again, "Would you look at the time…" he looked up at the clock.
Negi looked at Masayoshi as the latter stood up and went towards the door, "Hey! Where are you going?"
Masayoshi turned around an amused smile on his face, "Well I'm going home, where else?" He stooped down to pick up the bandaged broken body of Sho Katagawa. "I need to report our success to my masters," He threw Sho up on his shoulder, Sho gave out a slightly audible groan. He looked at Negi's surprised face and laughed, "There's no such thing as bad guys and good guys in this world Negi, we all fight for what we think is right, he did what he could." He made a quick motion to Sho, "And I did what I had to do. See you around."He turned around and swung the door open, the night sky now clear, the moonlight making the ground appear silver.
Negi ran up to him, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to the girls? They should properly say good bye at least!"
Masayoshi shook his head, "It's not like I'm not coming back." And with that he walked through the doorway and disappeared into the moonlight, his fading figure gone before Negi could say another word.
Negi shook his head, then I guess I'll see you around too…

And thus I'm finished, I know I'm terrible at endings, probably too quick for you all, but remember that I'm running quite a fever and the medication I'm currently on is causing me to get dizzy periodically. Thanks for the 40+ reviews everyone! I bet if I slowed down to a normal update speed I would have gotten more, but hey, what can you do huh? See you guys around, like Masayoshi,
"It's not like I'm never coming back."
Slight Translations/Explanations:
Nope, read Jennon-Donnon's review and he'll be sure to help with anything I might have screwed up.
